The research has investigated some aspects of the first three decades of the bolognese typography founded by Francesco Platone de 'Benedetti (1482-1496), focusing, in particular, on the production of the first heir, his nephew Giovanni Antonio (1499-1512), on their cultural catalogs and, finally, on the book trade in Bologna between Fifteenth and Sixteenth centuries. Three key points of the research: 1) the representation of the intellectuals (their life, their work) gravitated around the typography, with particular attention to the editors; 2) analysis of the sine notis editions still attributed to Francesco Benedetti, for a comparison of the catalogs of uncle and nephew, and to understand, as far as possible, the commercial logic Francesco was planning for his business; 3) an analysis of Francesco Benedetti's cultural project, based on his famous shop inventory, from which can be deduced: the custumers the typography aimed to, geographical and cultural coordinates of the book trade in Bologna at the turn of the XV century, the shape of the commercial network in which Francesco de 'Benedetti entered his business.
Il lavoro ha indagato alcuni aspetti del primo trentennio di vita dell'officina tipografica bolognese fondata da Francesco Platone de' Benedetti (1482-1496), focalizzandosi in particolare sulla produzione del primo erede, il nipote Giovanni Antonio (1499-1512), sui rispettivi cataloghi culturali e, infine, sul mercato librario bolognese a cavallo fra il XV e il XVI secolo. Tre i punti nodali della ricerca: 1) la rappresentazione del circuito intellettuale che gravitò attorno ai due de’ Benedetti, con particolare attenzione per i curatori editoriali; 2) l’accertamento delle edizioni sine notis ancora da attribuire in via definitiva a Francesco de’ Bendetti, per una comparazione credibile dei cataloghi di zio e nipote e per comprendere, fin dove possibile, le logiche commerciali che Francesco progettava per la sua azienda; 3) un’analisi del progetto culturale di Francesco de' Benedetti basandosi sul suo inventario di magazzino, da cui si evincono: il pubblico cui l’officina mirò, le coordinate (geografiche e culturali) del mercato del libro a Bologna sullo scorcio del secolo XV, i confini del network commerciale in cui Platone de’ Benedetti seppe inserire la sua impresa.

Abstract
The research has investigated some aspects of the first three decades of the bolognese typography founded by Francesco Platone de 'Benedetti (1482-1496), focusing, in particular, on the production of the first heir, his nephew Giovanni Antonio (1499-1512), on their cultural catalogs and, finally, on the book trade in Bologna between Fifteenth and Sixteenth centuries. Three key points of the research: 1) the representation of the intellectuals (their life, their work) gravitated around the typography, with particular attention to the editors; 2) analysis of the sine notis editions still attributed to Francesco Benedetti, for a comparison of the catalogs of uncle and nephew, and to understand, as far as possible, the commercial logic Francesco was planning for his business; 3) an analysis of Francesco Benedetti's cultural project, based on his famous shop inventory, from which can be deduced: the custumers the typography aimed to, geographical and cultural coordinates of the book trade in Bologna at the turn of the XV century, the shape of the commercial network in which Francesco de 'Benedetti entered his business.I documenti in UNITESI sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
